Author Description

For the first time, this edition of Feather Chronicles includes a scholarly article. Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving, by a CMN student Elizabeth Rice, explores and documents dimensions of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address. We expect to include additional student scholarly work in upcoming issues, both to increase interest in the magazine and to provide students opportunities to see their academic work published. Feather Chronicles thanks Humanities faculty member, Eric Jurgens, for conceiving this opportunity for the magazine and opening the communications that bring student scholarly work into our submissions process.This edition also includes prose, poetry, and images from authors, poets, and artists contributing to the magazine for the first time: Angela Schneider, Sandra Shackleford, Christopher Von Deck, Candy Mahkimetas, Michael Guyette, Kathleen Waukau, Lucille Martin, Renetta Waupoose, Bonnie Rolfs, Rosemary Warrington, and Rebecca Bork. Their work appears alongside new contributions from talented writers and artists whose creative work appeared in previous issues: Jill Martin, Mary Anne Hill, Melissa Wilber, Jes Buettner, and Madona Wilber. As always, Feather Chronicles thanks our contributing authors and artists.
